Arvind Kejriwal on five-day Punjab visit from Thursday

NEW DELHI: Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal is set to start his five-day visit to Punjab on Thursday to take stock of poll preparations of the party in the state.

According to reports, Kejriwal will emphasise on people-to-people meeting during his five-day visit, rather than holding mega rally in Punjab which goes to polls early next year.

Kejriwal had earlier visited Punjab in October last year, which was hit by protests due to desecration of Guru Granth Sahib.

AAP had opened its account in Lok Sabha by winning four seats in Punjab in 2014 general elections.

However, two of its MPs – Dharamvira Gandhi and Harinder Singh Khalsa – have been suspended on the charge of anti-party activities.
